To determine the intent of the
parties, you may interpret the contract language in light of the situation of
the parties and the circumstances surrounding the making of the contract. You
also may consider the motives of the parties and the ends that they sought to
accomplish by their contract.

However, the circumstances surrounding
the making of a contract, the purposes that the parties sought to accomplish and
their motives cannot prove an intent contrary to the plain meaning of the
language.

Even if the court determines that
the parol evidence rule applies, this instruction may be given because parol
evidence may be used to determine the meaning of terms to a contract. Ruscito
